James Maddison and Jamie Vardy struck late to provide the Foxes with their first Premier League away win since October, and a first clean sheet away from home this campaign – Leicester City snatched all three points against the relegation-threatened Burnley.In their previous three league outings. the Clarets collected seven points and they were hoping to build on that form to climb out of the relegation zone against a side who hadn’t won in the league since December 2021. Yup, Leicester are far from that tricky side that used to take away points from the biggest names in the league.Nonetheless, it was Brendan Rogers’ men who set the pace in the opening stages. Ricardo Pereira had the first opportunity of the match when he forced a spectacular reaction save from Nick Pope – young Englishman palmed the ball wide miraculously after he looked to have been beaten.##EDITORS_CHOICE##For a short period, Sean Dyche’s men crept back into the game and managed to get the ball in the net. However, Maxwel Cornet’s tap-in at the back post was ruled out for offside.Midway through the half, Pope was called into action once again – quick-footed Zambian Patson Daka found himself one-on-one with the keeper but the England stopper pulled off a fine block with his feet.Also, just before the break, Harvey Barnes broke free but Pope’s cat-like reflexes came to the rescue.On the other side, Kasper Schmeichel did not have a save to make in the first half but was tested immediately after the break, courtesy of Connor Roberts.Sat 15:30: (1.87) Leicester (3.60) Leeds (4.20)For the final 20 minutes, Rodgers introduced Vardy and Maddison as the Foxes were the ones to go hunting. In the 82nd minute, the change paid off. – latching onto an assist from fellow substitute Vardy, Maddison fired in a bullet effort from the edge of the area. The outstanding Pope was finally beaten.The host were soon made two-up as Vardy headed in to end Leicester’s five-game Premier League winless run. With this loss, Burnley remain in the drop zone following the defeat and there is more bad news ahead – Chelsea will visit Turf Moor on Saturday.Southgate are you watching?
